think of my words. ubi is not customer friendly. but which publisher is?

Yep true. Reminds me of World of Warcraft forums blizzard devs just don't go there very rarely will they answer a post unless one of their sponsored players responds you might get a reply from blizzard. To much rage/bleating in the forums so why bother. One time a blizzard tech answered a reply from a player that had problems with his eyesight color blind or something and asked for help if their was anything blizzard could do. This tech reply back and made a script file mod for the player when using the keyboard - or personally made his very own mod just for this guy to improve his game-play and only he could use the mod. The tech was pretty much loved by all players after that. So devs do rely only when they think its an important issue.

You dident really sign that thing rascal@ ... did you?

[Dowly]

Good effort. But you'll propably get a reply saying "Thank you for your time to contact us. We will take make sure this issue is looked upon." and then your letter is deleted.

Petition letter with all our signatures on it against DRM technology might also help..

Nah, online petition hardly ever work. Besides, we are speaking about SH5 here. I think Ubi affords to lose some customers in this genre when they got all those mainstream titles pumping money into their pockets.

Nobody takes any notice of emails. If you care enough to write all that out, print it, stick it in an envelope and mail it to them. I'm not saying it'll make them change their mind, but one physical letter is worth a hundred angry emails.

Or it can be a seperate website where only names/surnames and locations could be included those who never liked and doesn;t want to see any DRM in the game.. Weak option of course but at least something.

This is good advice. Also run your letter through a spell checker and fix the grammar. You can lose a lot of creditability that way.

Some ? I thought about this when they decided to end the war in 1943 moreover include only one U-boat type.. Now when DRM is announced in the game it became MOST I think.

[rascal101]

No I singed with my real name and email address, I thought privacy concerns of this forum might prevent publication of the letter so I removed my personal details

But a real name and contact information on any letter you might send to Ubi only adds to the power of your complaint - regardless if they actually read it its out there in their records on on this forum

And not only he did this but this colorblind system was developed and added to the game and applied to _everything_ inside the game. You now just have to click one box in the game preferences to have a color blind mode applied to the graphics, texts, everything that appears on screen.

I do play Wow. Yes I play each month. Why ?
Because I got fed of buying games full price, full of bugs, having no one fixing some after years. At Blizzard, servers are monitored 24/24, each week they have maintenance, fixes, and 24/24 I can contact in game a game master for help if I'm stuck or lost or anything. I have seen hundreds of bugs go since I play the game, and you do see each week, each patch where you money goes : additionnal content all the time, fixes, and responsive game masters always available.

Still, nicely written letter though.

You seem like a nice chap.
